Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is scheduled for an elective surgical procedure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take regarding informed consent?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse’s role in the informed consent process is to witness the client’s signature on the consent form verifying that the client is signing voluntarily and has been informed about the procedure. Explaining the procedure (
A) and risks and benefits (
D) is the responsibility of the physician performing the procedure and obtaining consent (
B) is also the physician’s role. The nurse may clarify information if the client has questions but witnessing the signature is the primary action.
Question 2 of 5
A client has been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and must learn how to do his own finger stick blood sugar analysis as part of his treatment. The client has been sullen and uncommunicative since receiving the diagnosis. How can the nurse best increase the client's motivation to learn?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Encouraging the client's participation each time the procedure is performed can increase motivation by involving the client actively in their care fostering confidence and ownership. Other options such as performing the procedure for the client or teaching others may reduce the client's engagement and sense of responsibility.
Question 3 of 5
Which is an example of a closed-ended question or statement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A closed-ended question can be answered with a simple “yes” or “no” or specific information. “Did you take those drugs?” is a closed-ended question as it elicits a yes/no response. Options A B and D are open-ended encouraging detailed or descriptive answers which are not characteristic of closed-ended questions.
Question 4 of 5
A client has the goal statement "Client will be able to state two positive aspects of rehab therapy by the end of the week." One of the following statements demonstrates that the nurse appropriately evaluated this goal.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The statement "Outcome met. The client is able to state two positive aspects of therapy by week's end" demonstrates that the nurse appropriately evaluated the goal as it confirms the client achieved the specific goal of stating two positive aspects by the end of the week.

Question 5 of 5
The client has a documented stage II pressure ulcer on the right hip. What NANDA nursing diagnosis problem statement is most appropriate to use with this client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A stage II pressure ulcer is a wound that involves partial-thickness loss of skin. The most appropriate NANDA nursing diagnosis problem statement for a client with this condition would be Impaired Skin Integrity as it specifically reflects the damage to the skin's surface. Impaired Tissue Integrity is less specific as it could apply to deeper tissue damage while the other options are not directly relevant to the condition described.
